For the beans -

1x 700g Jar Black Beans

5 garlic cloves, minced

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 heaped tsp each smoked paprika & tajin chilli & lime seasoning (or similar spice blend)

1 large white onion, sliced (¼ for salsa)

For the tomato Salsa -

3/4 tin finely chopped tomatoes (¼ for beans)

Zest 1 lime (+lime wedges to serve)

1 tbsp chopped coriander (+ extra for topping)

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tbsp olive oil

For the rest -

1 avocado, sliced

70g feta

2 pack microwaveable wholegrains

1 tsp cayenne pepper

Optional: pickled red onions (HIGHLY recommended), soured cream

Directions

Heat the grains in the microwave and mix together with some olive oil and the cayenne pepper.

Heat a glug of olive oil over a medium heat and once hot, add your sliced onions. Fry, stirring occasionally, until softened. If they cook too quickly, simply take off the heat, turn down your hob and continue cooking.

Briefly stir through the garlic and spices, until fragrant. Add the beans in their stock along with 2 tbsp of water, tomato paste & remaining 100g chopped tomatoes.

Once heated through, season to taste & remove from the heat.

Combine the ingredients for your salsa and season with a little salt & pepper.

Divide your grains between 3 tupperware. Top with the beans. Store the salsa separately in 4 mini pots (or together if WFH).

When ready to serve, either leave cold/heat in the microwave. Top with the tomato salsa, sliced avocado and any of the additional toppings you are using.
